Elect Laura Pressley To Our Austin City Council

Laura Pressley For Austin City Council District 4

Count on me to get the job done.

Last week, Dr. Laura Pressley, candidate for the Austin City Council District 4, filed an election contest challenging the results of the run-off election held on December 16th, 2014. Dr. Pressley has found multiple inconsistencies regarding the results of the election between herself and then candidate, now City Council Member, Greg Casar:

Some Mail in Ballots appear to have been counted more than once

Number of Ballots cast exceed the number of reported voters

Ineligible voters may have cast ballots

These and other abnormalities bring into question the final results of the run off election. Based on these issues, a recount was ordered and, unfortunately, the discrepancies were not resolved. Based on recommendations from Travis County and the Secretary of State, Pressley filed an election contest in district court.

As a Council Member, with District 4 as my guide, we can do so much more.
